On August 29th, 1997, three billion human lives ended on what became known as Judgment Day. The survivors lived only to face a new nightmare: the war against the machines.

This, of course, never happened in our reality, but is the main plot of Terminator 2: Judgement Day, the highly successful film predicated on one idea: artificial intelligence would one day recognize humanity as its enemy, and seek to destroy it. Though these movies are obvious fiction, the theme behind them lives on: how will the future of warfare look if we remove the human element?

For over thirty years, Del Monte was a leader in the development of microelectronics, integrated circuit sensors, and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) for IBM and Honeywell. His patents and technology developments are currently used by Honeywell, IBM, and Samsung.

Artificial intelligence is playing an ever-increasing role in military weapon systems. Going beyond the bomb-carrying drones used in the Afghan war, the Pentagon is now in a race with China and Russia to develop “lethal autonomous weapon systems” (LAWS). In this eye-opening overview, Mr. Del Monte examines the advantages and potential threats to humanity resulting from the deployment of completely autonomous weapons systems. Stressing the likelihood that these weapons will be available in the coming decades, the author raises key questions about how the world will be impacted.

Though the benefits are enormous when considering the human cost of warfare, it is imperative that the potential for automated control of our defense be examined at all times. It is not far-fetched to believe artificially intelligent computers could mis-identify a target, and set in motion a chain of events that could bring about large-scale global warfare or even the end of humanity as we know it.

Editorial Reviews

“A highly readable and deeply researched exploration of one of the most chilling aspects of the development of artificial intelligence: the creation of intelligent, autonomous killing machines. In Louis A. Del Monte’s view, the multibillion dollar arms industry and longstanding rivalries among nations make the creation of autonomous weapons extremely likely. We must resist the allure of genius weapons, Del Monte argues, because they will almost inevitably lead to our extinction.”

—James Barrat, author of Our Final Invention: Artificial Intelligence and the End of the Human Era

“For the second time in history, humanity is on the verge of creating weapons that might wipe us out entirely. Will we have the wisdom not to use them? No one can say, but this book will give you the facts you need to think about the issue intelligently.”

—J. Storrs Hall, author of Beyond AI: Creating the Conscience of the Machine

“This thought-provoking read provides insight into future world weapons scenarios we may face as technology rapidly advances. A call to arms for humanity, this book details the risks if we do not safeguard technology and weapon development.”

—Carl Hedberg, semiconductor sales and manufacturing management for thirty-seven years at Honeywell, Inc.

“In Genius Weapons, Del Monte provides a thorough and well-researched review of the history and development of ‘smart weapons’ and artificial intelligence. Then, using his background and imagination, he paints a very frightening picture of our possible future as these technologies converge. He challenges our understanding of warfare and outlines the surprising threat to mankind that may transpire in the not-too-distant future.”

—Anthony Hickl, PhD in materials science and former director of Project and Portfolio Management for New Products at Cargill

“We are already living the next war, which is increasingly being fought with the developing weapons that Del Monte writes about so engagingly.”

—Istvan Hargittai, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, author of Judging Edward Teller

“Del Monte explores a fascinating topic, which is of great importance to the world as the implementation of AI continues to grow. He points out the many applications of AI that can help humanity improve nearly every aspect of our lives—in medicine, business, finance, marketing, manufacturing, education, etc. He also raises important ethical concerns that arise with the use of AI in weapons systems and warfare. The book examines the difficulty of controlling these systems as they become more and more intelligent, someday becoming smarter than humans.”

Despite our ever-shrinking world, it’s always hard to imagine how much smaller things can get. Computers which once took up entire rooms now fit in our pocket. Libraries now fit on a device you can take with you anywhere. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. As tech moves forward, it gets smaller, and the future is nano.

This week on One Cell, One Light Radio, Dr. Hildy welcomes returning guests – Artist Rick Dubov and Film Producer/Director Veronica Hendricks to discuss updates in the advancement of nanotechnology – cellular-level tech that is changing our world.

Nanotech is already in full swing in our world. The most common current use is in coatings – substances you can spray on clothing to repel water, or to help an item repel sunlight to stop fading. However, this is just the tip of the iceberg.

One of the predicted uses of nano is in biotech. Nano sensors could one day enter the bloodstream and provide real-time analysis of your physical health. Instead of drawing blood and having it analyzed at a lab, you could get the results instantaneously. Work is already being done on synthetic cells – ones created in a lab but potentially used in a variety of ways, including genetic modification, fertilization, and more.

Nano isn’t the only area of tech that is rapidly growing. With advancements in virtual reality, the possibility of creating experiences that feel real to the user are endless. Imagine being able to see the world from the perspective of someone different than you. Imagine how you might feel about race if you could live life for a day as someone who is not like you. Or imagine learning surgery without cutting open a body.

This Horrifying ‘Slaughterbot’ Video Is The Best Warning Against Autonomous Weapons – Facial Recognition DAVID NIELD – 22 NOV 2017
We’re on the verge of creating autonomous weapons that can kill without any help from humans. Thousands of experts are concerned about this – and the latest campaign effort against this tech is a chilling video demonstrating the kind of future we’re heading for.
In the short, which we’ve embedded below, swarms of AI-controlled drones carry out strikes on thousands of unprepared victims with targeted precision. What makes the clip so scary is that the scenario is entirely plausible. The video starts with a spectacular press event where the technology is unveiled for the first time. The miniature drones are able to take out “the bad guys” – whoever they happen to be – without any collateral damage, nuclear weapons, or troops on the ground.

Over the last few decades, Halloween has grown from a night centered around children trick or treating, to a multi-billion dollar industry. Costumes, décor, parties, haunted house events – all have made the Halloween season the unofficial kickoff to the end-of-year holidays. But like most traditions, its original meaning has been lost throughout the years.

This week on One Cell One Light Radio, Dr. Hildy hosts a discussion on the origins of Halloween with Screenwriter, Eric Ernst. Today’s Halloween customs are thought to have been influenced by folk customs and beliefs from the Celtic-speaking countries, some of which have pagan roots, and others that may be rooted in Celtic Christianity.

(click on image to enlarge)

Samhain was the first and most important of the four quarter-days in the medieval Gaelic calendar and was celebrated in Ireland, Scotland, and the Isle of Man on or about October 31 and kindred festivals were held at the same time of year by the Brittonic Celts.

Samhain marked the end of the harvest season and beginning of winter or the ‘darker half’ of the year. It was seen as a liminal time, when the spirits or fairies (the Aos Sí) could more easily come into our world and were particularly active. At Samhain, it was believed that the Aos Sí needed to be propitiated to ensure that the people and their livestock survived the winter. Offerings of food and drink were left for the Aos Sí and the souls of the dead were also said to revisit their homes. Places were set at the dinner table or by the fire to welcome them. In 19th century Ireland, candles would be lit and prayers formally offered for the souls of the dead. After this the eating, drinking, and games would begin. The household festivities included rituals and games intended to divine one’s future, especially regarding death and marriage.

Today’s Halloween customs are also influenced by Christian dogma and practices derived from it. Halloween falls on the evening before the Christian holy day of All Hallows’ Day, thus giving the holiday the full name of All Hallows’ Eve. But it was not until the mass Irish and Scottish immigration during the 19th century that it was brought to North America. Confined to the immigrant communities during the mid-19th century, it was gradually assimilated into mainstream society and by the first decade of the 20th century it was being celebrated coast to coast by people of all social, racial and religious backgrounds.

As for the many traditions of Halloween, in Ireland and Scotland, the turnip has traditionally been carved during Halloween, but immigrants to North America used the native pumpkin, which is both much softer and much larger – making it easier to carve than a turnip. In Scotland and Ireland, guising – children disguised in costume going from door to door for food or coins – is a traditional Halloween custom, and is recorded in Scotland at Halloween in 1895 where masqueraders in disguise carrying lanterns made out of scooped out turnips, visit homes to be rewarded with cakes, fruit and money.

Halloween costumes are traditionally modeled after supernatural figures such as vampires, monsters, ghosts, skeletons, witches, and devils. In Hallowed Be Thy Name, a religious perspective to the wearing of costumes is offered:”By dressing up in costumes and portraying frightening creatures, who at one time caused us to fear and tremble, we. . . are poking fun at the serpent whose head has been crushed by our Savior.” Furthermore, in the Christian tradition, “images of skeletons, ghosts, graveyard scenes, nighttime creatures such as bats are traditional decorations. Over time, in the United States the costume selection extended to include popular characters from fiction, celebrities, and generic archetypes such as ninjas and princesses.

Imagine a world in which you can instantly monitor your body as if it was a computer. Your glucose levels, heart rate, blood pressure – all instantaneously available without having to administer a test. Imagine a world in which you cut yourself and within moments, your body has healed itself via tiny machines implanted within us. As of now, widespread nanotechnology is not science fiction, it is reality.. And with that reality comes the race between countries to be #1 in Nanoweaponization.

For over thirty years, Del Monte was a leader in the development of microelectronics, integrated circuit sensors, and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) for IBM and Honeywell. His patents and technology developments are currently used by Honeywell, IBM, and Samsung. As a Honeywell Executive Director, he led hundreds of physicists, engineers, and technology professionals engaged in micro to nanotechnology development for both the Department of Defense and commercial applications.

As global tensions rise in a more-connected-than-ever world, governments are constantly trying to find ways to stay ahead of enemies, and nanoweapons are no exception. Potential nanoweapons include toxic nanoparticles as a poison able to cross biological membranes their bulk counterparts are unable to cross and therefore can be readily absorbed. Another such nanoweapon could be drones the size of insects – tiny drones capable of infiltrating enemy lines unnoticed.

Though he is perhaps most famous to western audiences as Chirrut Îmwe, a Rebel spy in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Donnie Yen has had a long and prosperous career in cinema, spanning more than three decades. This week on One Cell, One Light Radio, Dr. Hildy and guest Veronica Hendricks will discuss Yen’s career, his use of varied martial arts styles, and what lies in Yen’s future.

Born in Guangzhou, China in 1963, Donnie Yen is the son of a kung fu master and a newspaper editor. When he was eleven, his family moved to Boston. Here he learned a great love of music as well as learning martial arts from his mother, a pioneer for Chinese martial arts in America. In time, he became a serious practitioner of modern Wu Shu, and his parents decided to send him to Beijing to train at the Chinese capital’s famed Wu Shu academy. It was when Yen returned to Hong Kong en route back to Boston that he met the famed martial arts movie director Yuen Woo-ping.

Donnie Yen exploded onto the Hong Kong movie scene when he was cast in the lead role of director Yuen Woo-ping’s Drunken Tai Chi. His debut film immediately established him as a viable leading man, and Yen has remained a major figure in Chinese action cinema to this day.

Yen’s career blossomed, including roles in over 70 movies and tv shows, including 1993’s Iron Monkey, Yimou Zhang’s 2002 masterpiece Hero, and the Ip Man series, of which a 4th movie is filming right now. He has also been in many American movies, such as the aforementioned Rogue One, Blade II, xXx: The Return of Xander Cage, and a live-action remake of Disney’s Mulan, scheduled for release in 2020, which will also star Jet Li.

CHERRY BLOSSOM TIME – Takeshi Kaneshiro

This week on One Cell One Light Radio, Dr. Hildy and Film Producer, Veronica Hendricks, celebrate Cherry Blossom season in Japan, the time of year when the the sakura and other trees blossom breathtakingly.

As spring approaches, the entire nation turns a shade of pink. Months before they arrive, retailers switch into sakura mode – supermarkets filled with plastic cherry blossom flowers and cherry blossom-flavored foods and beverages. The beautiful trees are a common subject of artists and painters, and are a source of great pride for the island nation.

When the blooms arrive (as confirmed by teams of meticulous cherry blossom officials), it is time to indulge in one of the nation’s all-time favourite pastimes – hanami, which literally translates as “looking as flowers” and refers to flower appreciation picnics under the blooms.

But the cherry blossoms aren’t all Japan is prideful about. There are also the moves of Takeshi Kaneshiro, one of Japan’s most popular actors. Despite being effortlessly good-looking, he chooses to strike a sometimes uneasy balance between the commercially pleasing and the quirky in his choice of film roles. Takeshi, sometimes called the Japanese Johnny Depp, has appeared in more than 50 films, though American audiences would know him best from his role as “Jin” in director Yimou Zhang’s (Hero, Raise the Red Lantern) 2004 film House of Flying Daggers. Kaneshiro is also an accomplished singer, having released 9 albums in Japan in both Mandarin and Cantonese.

Early life – Takeshi Kaneshiro

Takeshi Kaneshiro’s mother is Taiwanese and his father is from Okinawa, Japan.[1][2]He was born and raised in Taipei but also holds Japanese citizenship.[3][4]

The son of a Japanese businessman and a Taiwanese homemaker,[5] he has two elder brothers; one is his senior by seven years, the other just by one.[6] After graduating from Taipei Japanese Junior High School, he enrolled at English-based Taipei American School, which enabled him to converse in English. While he was studying there, he began doing television commercials and decided to quit school to pursue a singing and acting career. He is multilingual, fluent in Mandarin, Chinese Hokkien, Japanese, and to lesser degrees in Cantonese and English.

Today, we celebrate the life of our beloved friend, Rosalind Peterson (2-4-18).

A tireless warrior in the fight against injustices, Rosalind battled on many fronts to ensure we, and our planet, were not abused. Through her ingrained sense of diligence, commitment, courage and caring, not only for those with no voice, but for colleagues and friends, we learned the true meaning of activism.

She founded California Skywatch in 2002, when she began researching atmospheric testing and weather modification programs. Rosalind was the California President and Co-Founder of the Agriculture Defense Coalition (ADC), an organization formed in 2006, to protect agriculture from the wide variety of those experimental weather modification and atmospheric testing programs as well as document the history and dangers of GMOs, pesticides and herbicides which she found are maiming and killing animal species and the bees and butterflies, fouling the soil and atmosphere, and are dangerous for human health.

But her work was not limited to the sky, as she reported on many other controversial programs including Navy Training Range disasters which adversely affect sea mammals and ecological ocean balance and additionally upset the ecology in National Forests and Protected areas with electronic weapons’ testing; possible adverse Social Security and Medicare modifications; EMF dangers, including Smart Meters. She was one of the first to warn about the dangers of irreversible damage from Fluoroquinolone Antibiotics – Her early research and activism were triggered by River/Stream/Drinking Water contamination in the NW. **and much more

She researched, commented, networked, appeared on many shows and at protests, including attending local city/county/state/Navy Training Range meetings, filed comments on untold numbers of Government websites during comment periods for pending legislation – and collected up like-minded colleagues to do the same – Rosalind remained present and visible as she researched, saved and posted articles and study after study on her website – wrote critical overviews of current events and, by her own admission, posted only items which she could prove were factual.

Many have asked the following question: “Why doesn’t somebody do something about the issues facing us today?” My parents always answered: “All of us are somebody and we all need to take action and do something each day…each month…each year…in order to bring about change.” – (Comment: And that she did!)

Most importantly to us, Rosalind was also a frequent guest and contributor to One Cell One Light Radio and a loyal and beloved friend. We will miss her greatly.

== Rosalind Peterson Guest Appearances with Dr. Hildy over the years ==

From Carol Von Strum:
Rosalind’s most recent (well, for the last ten years up until she died) battle was against the U.S. Navy’s turning our coasts into war games and weapons testing areas. We worked together and almost alone for some years until the folks in Washington state woke up, and then we worked extensively with them. They are still going strong, fighting the use of our national forests for Navy testing and practice of electronic warfare.http://westcoastactionalliance.org/does-the-navy-use-the-best-available-science-an-essay

The Agriculture Defense Coalition is dedicated to protecting agriculture, our water supplies, soil, trees, and pollinators from the use of herbicides, insecticides, pesticides, and genetically engineered crops. In addition, our weather is being artificially manipulated and changed through a wide variety of schemes and experiments.

When you visit the “CATEGORIES” section of this website you will find an alphabetical listing of topics, by section, that will help identify some of the experiments, schemes, and programs that are having a long-lasting impact on our environment and our future survival. We can educate ourselves and others with regard to these issues and take fact-based action to educate others and change our direction.

Welcome to the Contact Section of the Agriculture Defense Coalition Website and the California Skywatch Website.

Rosalind Peterson is California President and Co-Founder of the Agriculture Defense Coalition (ADC). The ADC was formed in 2006, to protect agricultural from a wide variety of experimental weather and atmospheric testing programs.

Ms. Peterson also founded California Skywatch in 2002, when she began researching atmospheric testing and weather modification programs. The two websites are separate entities but are linked together by issues listed alphabetically in the “Categories” section. (The California Skywatch Website merged permanently with the ADC on January 15, 2011.)

Ms. Peterson was a Keynote Speaker at the 60th Annual DPI/NGO Conference on Climate Change (New York on September 5-7, 2007.) She spoke about agriculture and the negative impacts of experimental weather modification programs on tree and plant health, along with other important issues. Since then she has presented her United Nations Power Point Presentation to colleges, universities and interested groups. She has also been interviewed on numerous radio and television programs. (Scroll to the bottom of this page to see a portion of her Keynote Presentation.)

In 1995, Rosalind, now retired, became a certified California United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Farm Service Agency Agriculture Crop Loss Adjustor. She worked in more than ten counties throughout California. Many crop losses throughout the State can be attributed to weather related causes. She worked for five years for the Mendocino County Department of Agriculture as an Agriculture Technologist before being hired by the USDA Farm Service Agency in Mendocino County, California.

Rosalind has a BA degree from Sonoma State University in Environmental Studies & Planning (1991 ENSP), with emphasis on solar power, photosynthesis, agriculture, crop production, and the efficient use of energy in the future. Ms. Peterson has won several awards and recognition for her extensive efforts to protect drinking water supplies in Martinez, California, from toxic chemical contamination. She also writes articles on many subjects including protection of the environment from ongoing, unregulated, atmospheric geoengineering experiments and weather modification programs.

She was born and raised on a working farm in Mendocino County, located in Northern California, and from this early farm education feels that she has a working knowledge of agriculture, crop production, weather and other difficulties faced by the agricultural community.

It’s that time of year once again – when people of all faiths hold their winter celebrations. Naturally, in the US, Christmas is celebrated far and wide, and despite its religious origins, has evolved into an equally secular holiday while still encompassing the spirit of giving and love that Mary and the Christ child inspired.

This week on One Cell, One Light Radio, Dr. Hildy welcomes guests Diana Kajitori, Veronica Hendricks, Rev. Kathleen O’Toole, Dawn Wood, and Rev. Robin Dearing to discuss the history of the Virgin Mary appearing throughout the world in many forms.

In Portugal, in 1917, perhaps the most famous Mary sighting occurred. Known as the Lady of Fatima, the incident centers around three children who reported apparitions of the Virgin Mary, who the children described as “the Lady more brilliant than the Sun”. The children reported a prophecy that prayer would lead to an end to the Great War, and that on October 13th the Lady would reveal her identity and perform a miracle “so that all may believe.” The sightings continued throughout the summer, and on October 13th, a huge crowd, possibly between 30,000 and 100,000, gathered. What happened then became known as the “Miracle of the Sun”.

The three children reported seeing a panorama of visions during the event. According to accounts, after a period of rain, the dark clouds broke and the sun appeared as an opaque, spinning disc in the sky. It was said to be significantly duller than normal, and to cast multicolored lights across the landscape, the people, and the surrounding clouds. The sun was then reported to have careened towards the earth before zig-zagging back to its normal position. Witnesses reported that their previously wet clothes became “suddenly and completely dry, as well as the wet and muddy ground that had been previously soaked because of the rain that had been falling”.

While this event may be the most famous, there are many other instances of people seeing visions of the Virgin Mary. With Christmas soon approaching, it seems only fitting to discuss Mary’s appearances on Earth. After all, the Immaculate Conception is the reason for the season!

Dr. Hildy is offering a HOLIDAY BUNDLE of goodies from Integrative Health Systems to the first person to call 323-466-2599 with the correct answer. (Leave a message with your name and number.) Question is: How many stars are in the Crown of Mary Queen of Heaven’s crown?

These lovely photos of the Virgin and the Christ child were taken by
Rev. Kathleen O’Toole at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC.

Friday, October 13, 2017 will be the 100th year Anniversary since the Lady of Fatima made her presence on earth. In celebration of this event and others were the Blessed Virgin Mary showed herself to others on this earth over the centuries of time, which I will be sharing some points with you to reflect upon about our Queen of Heaven.

The Queen of Heaven is the story of their enmity, the battle between an angel who said “no” to God, and the handmaiden who said “yes.” It is a spiritual battle that began at the dawn of time, and has inspired the spiritual essence of many a battle upon this earth throughout history to the current day.

WAR IN HEAVENGod existed eternally, before any of his creations. His existence was not a solitary one, for there was the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, living in a communion of indescribable Love. This love did not need to be shared outside of the Holy Trinity, but God willed it so.

God’s first creations were the angels. God created them to be good, but just as he would do with us he gave the angels free will. Only free creatures can truly love; a conditional love is no love at all for it is compulsory. God created an everlasting multitude of angelic hosts. And some of them abused their free will, rebelled against God, and in so doing became devils.

The name of Lucifer, which means “Day Star” is the name taken from Isaiah for Lucifer.How you are fallen from heaven,
O Day Star, son of Dawn!
How you cut down to the ground,
You who laid the nations low!

You said in your heart,
“I will ascend to heaven;
Above the stars of God
I will set my throne on high;
I will sit on the mount assembly
In the far north;
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,
I will make myself like the Most High.”
(Is. 14: 12- 14)

Mary, the Queen of Heaven and Lucifer were in eniminity. And just as the word enmity means deep-seated, often a mutual hatred, Mary’s Battle for Your Soul began. The hatred was like a repulsion, which can be simply described as the feeling one gets when the same polarities of a magnet repel against each other. They can never be together unless there is a turning point where they become one again – as the original whole of creation the birth of PEACE on Earth as well as in Heaven.

To understand Lucifer’s origins and his revolt at the dawn of creation, we can better understand Our Lady – Mary and the role she plays in the final battle for souls.

In the Song of Solomon 6:10 – an Antiphon of the Legion of Mary the following is written:Who is she
that comes forth as
the morning rising,
fair as the moon,
bright as the sun,
terrible as an army
set in battle array?

The Blessed Virgin Mary, the Queen of Heaven wears a crown made of 12 stars – the remnant of the 12 supernovas of the cosmos representing the beginning of creation as well as the reflection of the 12 tribes of Israel. She was Christ’s first disciple and experienced seven sorrows to her heart as foretold to her by Simeon in the temple as she presented her son Jesus. And it was at the cross where her only begotten son died for all of Humanity that the wood of the cross would be like a remnant of the Tree of Life at the Garden of Eden. Where it was that Eve and Adam fell from grace through original sin.

Mary’s heart would be pierced by a sword as well as being the one who interceded for Eve – the Mother of All Living by the prayers of Adam and Eve as well as those of Abraham, all their ancestors and all of their tears.

The Queen of Heaven has been seen three times on earth as she interceded for Humanity in its darkest hours. The appearance of the Blessed Virgin Mary each time became the turning point for the purification of creation as well as during the battle for all souls, even for the ones in hell, who may only be saved by our prayers and sacrifices.

The First Time she was seen on earth was by an Aztec peasant who thought himself unworthy of her choosing him to request a church be built in her name – Guadalupe. Juan Diego who accepted Christ in his heart 6 years prior was of Aztec heritage but loved God with all his heart. He lost his wife Maria 3 years before and then his uncle became ill.

The Blessed Virgin Mary interceded for the Aztec Indians and the battle between the conquistadors in 1510. She performed miracles but the one that the Americans remember is the Castilian roses that Juan Diego picked as he placed them in his tilma and the Virgin Mary made them into a bouquet for the Bishop Zumarraga. When Juan Diego went before the Bishop he opened his tilma and the roses fell to the ground. The Bishop feel to his knees with the other priest saying, “this is a miracle – I prayed for a sign from the Blessed Virgin Mary and she brought me the sign – Castilian roses as only grown in Spain.” And just as Juan Diego’s last rose fell to the floor an image of the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared on his tilma. The Lady said her name was Guadalupe and she became known as the Lady of Guadalupe – Patroness of the Americas. In 1510 at the time of this miracle over 1.2 million Aztec Indians accepted the Christ at that time, the largest conversion of all time so far since the death of Jesus – the Christ 2,000 years ago.

The Second Time was on February 11, 1858, when a fourteen-year-old girl, Bernadette, at a rocky crag at the foot of the Pyrenees Mountains, known as Massabielle. She saw a beautiful lady, as her sister and friend were gathering fire wood. The Lady told Bernadette that her name was the Immaculate Conception.

At the place where the Virgin Mary placed her feet that had roses beneath them, she told Bernadette to dig with her hands in the dirt. Bernadette dug and ate of the mud and after doing as Mary requested a spring bubbled up and its waters came forth. This spring is known for its healing waters throughout the world.

The Spring of Lourdes, for the ones who believe within all their heart, has had their bodies of disease and inflictions cured. Many witnesses have seen these miraculous cures during that time and to our present time. The beautiful Lady came to the people of France to intercede for the prayers and tears of so many souls, as well as warn of wars to come (World War I and II).

The Third Time the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared was to three small children in Fatima, Portugal where the miracle of the dancing Sun occurred on October 13, 1917 – a hundred years ago with 75,000 witnesses among the three children who saw the Blessed Virgin Mary in all her images.

The Archbishop Sheen begins by noting, as many have before, Muslims have a great respect for Mary, believing in her immaculate conception and the virgin birth. Sheen also points out that the Qur’an has verses on the Annunciation, Visitation, and Nativity. One passage has angels telling her, “Oh Mary, God has chosen you and purified you, and elected you above all of the women of the earth” (3:42).

Sheen brings out that the only possible rival to Mary in Islam, is Muhammad’s daughter, Fatima, whom he obviously loved dearly. Yet even still Muhammad wrote of Fatima, “Thou shall be the most blessed of all the women in Paradise, after Mary.”

The Archbishop Sheen continues, “since nothing ever happens out of Heaven except with a finesse of all details, I believe that the blessed Virgin chose to be known as “Our Lady of Fatima” as a pledge and sign of hope to the Moslem people and as an assurance that they, who show her so much respect, will one day accept her Divine Son, too.” He goes on to point out that the town of Fatima in Portugal inherited its name from the daughter of a Muslim chief, who after her father and his people were driven out, stayed behind and fell in love with a Catholic boy, This young man eventually named the area after her. “Thus, the very place where Our Lady appeared in 1917 bears a historical connection to Fatima the daughter of Muhammad.”

No matter whom the soul is on this earth, if they accept the Virgin Birth, there is a seed of theology that can be watered with our prayer and soon Our Lady will bring her Son to them. And once in the hands of Christ Jesus, surely he will harness their passion and commitment and use it for good, just as he did with St. Paul, who once also persecuted the Christians.

Throughout history, one of the most pervasive myths has been that of the vampire. From the Mesopotamians, ancient Greeks, and Romans to our own modern-day movies and television, the concept of vampirism has existed for millennia. We all know the basic tenets of the vampire myth: undead creatures that stalk unsuspecting people by night, preying upon them to subsist off the blood of the living. But one of the main markers of modern nosferatu is that the basics of vampire lore can change with each story, and often that change ties into our own history.

This week on One Cell One Light Radio, Dr. Hildy welcomes film director Ben Berkowitz, for a discussion on vampires through cinema history, and how vampire lore has changed throughout the last century. ( BEN BERKOWITZ – BIO )

A writer/director based in Los Angeles, Ben Berkowitz directed the award-winning feature film Polish Barreleased by Cinetic Media in 2014 and currently available on iTunes, Amazon, and most Cable On Demand. Polish Bar stars Oscar nominee and Emmy winner Judd Hirsch, Richard Belzer, Vincent Piazza, Meat Loaf and James Badge Dale. Ben also recently acted in several projects including Chronic, the English language debut of multiple Cannes prize- winning writer/director Michel Franco, in which he co-starred with Tim Roth.

From the earliest appearance of a vampire in FW Murnau’s Nosferatu, to the modern television series of Vampire Diaries, True Blood, and The Strain, vampire lore has evolved greatly. In Nosferatu, Count Orlok is portrayed as a gruesome monster, played by Max Shreck, which later led to an urban legend that Shreck himself was a vampire. Nosferatu was also the first instance of vampires being affected by sunlight, something that has colored nearly all vampire lore since.

This week on One Cell One Light Radio, Dr. Hildy welcomes , once again, her guest, DaneWigington, for a continued discussion on climate engineering.

As discussed last week, climate engineering is the deliberate and large-scale intervention using artificial modification of Earth’s climate systems with the aim of limiting adverse climate change. Dr. Hildy and Dane will discuss a number of current problems with our environment, and how to stop them.

Chiefly among these issues is unimaginably rapid sea level rise. Due to global warming, polar sea ice is melting, up to ten times faster than the previous worst case predictions. The latest, published Thursday in the scientific journal Nature, says melting ice in Antarctica has the potential to contribute to a rise in sea levels of 1 meter — more than 3 feet — by the end of this century and goes on to say with ice also melting in other parts of the world, seas could rise 5 or 6 feet by the end of this century, far more than predicted in a 2013 United Nations study.

Another problem is the decrease in photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a chemical reaction and the rate of most chemical reactions increases with temperature. The higher the temperature then typically the greater the rate of photosynthesis. However, for photosynthesis at temperatures above 104°F, the rate slows down. Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy, normally from the sun, into chemical energy that can be later released to fuel the organisms’ activities. Since plants provide food and oxygen, and a great number of places in the world are facing an rapid increase in temperature, this is highly disconcerting.
